answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/10/2014 answer text <p>In its response to the IDC recommendations DFID did not commit to report results disaggregated by disability across all sectors of the Department’s work.</p><p> </p><p>DFID is nevertheless committed to improving data on disability. Our priority in this area is to strengthen national governments' ability to collect, analyse and use data in the countries in which we work at a national, regional and local level, and in different sectors. This information will be used to inform national level results frameworks and reporting against future international development goals. To do this, DFID made a new commitment in September 2013 to advocate the use of the Washington Group questions on disability wherever possible in DFID-supported national censuses and household surveys, and to champion their use with other donors.</p><p> </p><p>As the IDC recognises, collecting disaggregated data at the programme level is difficult. DFID will make disaggregated data on age and disability part of our requirements for funding humanitarian proposals. DFID's broader approach is to identify programmes with a specific focus on disability at the design phase, and to monitor this inclusion throughout the programme management cycle.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Wallace of Saltaire question first answered 13/10/2014 12:19:45 answering member 1816 label Biography information for Lord Wallace of Saltaire
